I’m sorry I hurt you. After I did what I did, I stood at the top of my 60-story hotel building and just looked over the side. I kept hoping that, by some miracle, a gust of wind would take me over the edge and onto the pavement where both of our hurts would end right then and there in the middle of the New York streets. I wish so badly that I could take my mistake back and that we could be like we were. I hate myself more and more every minute now. My tears haven’t stopped falling, and your knuckles keep bleeding. What do you want me to do?! All that I’m good for is hurting the ones thatIi love the most; you. I just want you to be happy…

My Story:

My name is Alex Boles, and I am the founder of the Unwritten Letters Project. The pages of my diary and the letters scattered in notebooks, stationary and on various napkins consisted of the torments of my young adult/teenage years -- being an overweight, yet outgoing teen trying desperately to fit in and be recognized. Bullying was like breathing, something I dealt with every day. Although it gave me the inspiration to want to make a difference in the world, others are not as willing to see these circumstances as something to overcome and remain stronger for, most bullied kids and teens only see this as a recognition of unworthiness and a reason to let go. It is my personal goal to make an impact on the bullied and the bullies to make them know that every person is worthy of their own life, their own voice, and the action to take is to share your voice in any creative way imaginable. Write! Act! Draw! Paint! Speak up for yourself and take ownership of your circumstances. Use this website and our resources to overcome any obstacles and become the stronger person you and I both know you are.
